An 'anti-choice center' has opened across the street from Mississippi's last abortion clinic

Getty Images/Joe Raedle (Mic) — Being the last remaining abortion clinic in Mississippi, Jackson Women's Health Organization is already in a pretty precarious position. And now, there's a new bully on the block — literally.

According to Pregnancy Help News, an anti-abortion rights outlet, a pregnancy crisis center called "Center for Pregnancy Choices" has opened just 100 yards away from its abortion-providing neighbor.

Apparently, the center's grand opening represents the "intervention piece" of founding board member Barbara Beavers' master plan to help deter women from terminating their pregnancies. Beavers and her team began scouting potential spaces for the new center — one of three in the state — in 2014, settling on the location just spitting distance from Jackson Women's Health Organization. At the time the space was out of their price range, but with a little fundraising and some help from Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson and Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, they were finally able to afford it.
